Dmarket - the worlds first decentralized, cross-game marketplace.

DMarket is a global marketplace to turn every virtual item into a real commodity. This paper discusses how we combine blockchain technologies and seven years of industry experience to bring this billion dollar market into the global economy. All the time people spend playing on their mobile, PC, console or any other platform could be finally worth something. Essentially, DMarket is a new ecosystem where gamers, developers and entrepreneurs can efficiently and securely evaluate and trade virtual items. Without risk of technical bugs or malicious parties. Thus actually building a new economic cluster joining existing markets.

How DMarket Works

Game universes are not connected to each other in any way. There is no safe and easy way to trade between them. We are building DMarket - a global marketplace based on blockchain and smart contracts. It enables one-click sale, exchange or evaluation of every virtual item between all games on any platform. The blockchain will ensure 100% security and safety. Smart contracts are the bridge on blockchain to connect all game worlds and universes without any third party needed. They will log changes of ownership and automatically transfer payments. The DMarket Token is native to DMarket, it is the only currency used in the marketplace.

Over 2.2 billion people play games every day on different platforms and devices. The gaming industry reached $100 billion of revenue in 2016 and is booming. Only around 4,000 pro gamers are making profits out of their time and skills spent in games. Just a couple of games with 6% auditory already turn over close to $3 billion dollars trading in-game items. After seven years of experience in the gaming industry, we can actually see and feel the pain of the other 94% of gamers in the world.No existing technology can connect the many different game universes and platforms. Players were resigned to their items becoming useless, despite spent time and effort. Today with the booming gaming audience, VR and AR markets, this has to be resolved as soon as possible.

DMarket token is represented by DMarket coins. It will be used across the DMarket platform, and will not be limited by the platform in the future. DMarket coins will be used:

1- As a currency, in case of buying/selling in-game items
2- For deducting fees for trading in-game items
3- To distribute profits among digital property copyright holders
4- For premium account acquisition for wholesalers and retailers
5- For BigData-analytics acquisition
6 -To postpone service fees, based on smart contracts which are sourced from one DMarket user to another

WHY NOW?

Players spend time, experience or even try their luck to get new items in a beloved game. And in the end, just leave them there useless. Introducing DMarket - the first cross-game trading marketpalce to turn every virtual item into real commodity.

I've never heard any of these names before myself, but I'll take your word for it. Not that I'm going to invest anything in this however.
